What to Do With Your Hair This Weekend: Copy Olivia Palermo's Chunky Side Braid Using Clip-In Extensions

Got a set of clip-in hair extensions kicking around that you haven't been so inspired to use lately? Here's a brand-new hairstyle idea you can try with them, inspired by the always-chic Olivia Palermo, who wore this chunky side braid in Cannes this season. Here's an Olivia-side-braid how-to from the folks over at HairUWear, who say that the trick is to add faux hair to bulk up the braid. 1. Starting on air-dried hair, sprinkle a lightweight volumizing powder throughout. 2. Flip hair over and shake it to create volume all over. 3. Create a side part and sweep hair into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck. 4. To achieve extra length and volume for this look, attach clip-in extensions, like the Hairdo by HairUWear Beach Curl Pony, to your own hair. 5. Braid the ponytail and secure with a ponytail holder. Finish off the braid by separating the weave, pulling it apart to achieve the undone effect. What do you think? Would you try this Olivia Palermo-inspired braid hairstyle idea at home?
